    I don’t doubt the Republicans would make the same mistake twice,

    Well folks did elect Trump twice… so there is that.

      I still don’t believe that trump won against Harris. So imo they didn’t vote for hin twice.

        I mean I think it was valid Trump was pretty consistent in his votes over all three elections. The Dems had a spike during Biden and a crash during Haris. The truth is the left just couldn’t be bothered to keep him out a second time.

          ‘The left’ liberals didn’t vote for Harris. I mean the left didn’t either, but the reason Harris lost was because of standard ol liberals choosing not to vote for brown George w bush.

            From what I saw, through the stuff on the internet, the White-supremacists were solidly Trump, the male-supremacists were solidly Trump, AND Trump used a voter-deregistration law, through some local Republicans, to remove Democrats from voting-rolls, in key swing-states.

            AND many Democrats refused to vote.

            When all 4 of those come together, then you have the real basis for the result that happened.

            sigh … yet-again, journalism got disappeared off the internet, in order to prevent any accountability or leverage-causing-necessary-change…

            Neither DuckDuckGo nor Google can find the journalism I’d read about that voter-deregistration having already been used as a partisan weapon, with the obvious consequence that it can be used again to immense effect, in 2026 & 2028.

            Welcome to the for-profit-only “reality” we live-in…

            ( I’m going to be saving offline-copies of all such journalism, from now on, because of this bullshit.

            Without knowing history, it isn’t possible to be competent to avoid re-enacting it!

            This ISN’T it, but it gives some similar information: https://newrepublic.com/article/199247/transcript-trump-lets-slip-dark-truth-plot-rig-midterms )
